We don't have Halloween here, wish we did. Marketing people try to push it here and there, but it's just not going to happen.
Instead, I read some disturbing info the other day. My cat's pet supermarket's latest newsletter called to owners to keep their jet black cats inside around October 31st, as there have been increased incidents of black cats being tortured or killed around this time of year. I have no words for the idiots engaging in these crimes. So, if you have a black cat, get them to celebrate Halloween with you indoors.
On a happier note, here is a black cat safely inspecting pumpkins, in preparation for the holiday we come to know well from American TV shows and films :)

Over at Sunday Postcard Art, it's Circus this week. Here is my view of circus (which I love for the acrobat component and hate because of the animal component):

And a second ATC for ATC Around the World September challenge Anything Goes with Option Sun, Moon and Stars. In this second entry, I am sticking with the option - sun, moon and stars.
I have a tarot spread. Do you think I will win the lottery?

Although we don't have much of a change between seasons here, I have lived in northern Europe and know all about those autumns. For Wicked Wednesday's first topic in September - Fall Colours, I have quilled leaves using narrow 1.5mm (1/16") paper strips. I wanted to create splotch effects on the paper using salt, but looks like Kraft is too tough for salt :)
Enjoy the gorgeous palette, all you northern climate dwellers.

Sunday Postcard Art's theme for this week is Leaves. We don't have much of those glorious autumns the northern hemisphere is known for, but I have lived in northern Europe and have kicked through those leaves :)
This week I have quilled leaves using narrow 1.5mm (1/16") paper strips. I have also rediscovered a stash of various 6"x4" cards, perfect for postcard challenges. Would like to thank Sunday Postcard Art for showcasing my postcard from last week, which you can see here.
Linking up to Moo Mania & More for the second time this fortnight for their Nature's Beauty theme.
